Google Eclair floats away !

By




So it turns out that the Google HQ was seiged by some crazy rain storms this past Friday 13th and, well... our Giant 10ft Long Google Eclair went afloat!


As most of you already know, our studio has created all of the Google Lawn Sculptures and so, we always find it cool to see all the activity of the sculptures there on the lawn.    "The Google Sculpture Lawn" in front of  Building 44  (as it is officially known) has turned into a tourist attraction stop because of the sculptures.  On any given day one will see several bus's filled with people, stop, get out and take photos in front of the Themendous* sculpts, get back in the bus and leave!  -WHAT?!?  WAIT !!! Where's everyone going???-   Many famous celebrities and role model personalities visiting Google have also posed in front of our Google Sculpts such as Lady Gaga, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Willam Defoe, Busta Rhymes,  retired General Colin Powell, and of course; the Android team, including Andy Rubin himself, just to name a few! 


Back to the "Floatation Device":  
For anyone wondering, the sculpture is made of EPS (Expandable Poly Styrene), or simply: styrofoam. So yes, it's no surprise to see it floating around  :P    Since this sculpture was designed to simply sit flat on the lawn, there was no need to include any mounting braces.  You'll note that the other sculptures are not floating.  Because of their particular design and weight, they have mounting brackets included for mounting.


The real funny thing is that I was supposed to have been at the Google campus that day for an event and it got postponed until a later date.  Good thing I guess, as the rain would have messed things up BIG TIME!

*  I didn't mis-spell Tremendous.  "THEMEndous" is the name of our shop.  The word is a mash up of Tremendous + Theming) 





You all know that's the Woz himself right there right?

The Android team

General Colin Powell

OOOO  here come the people!  Does anyone know if the next stop is Hoboken?

Top Secret Project - Episode 2

By
If you were to Google "Custom Creations", you would find that we excel in oversized props, 3D styrofoam sculpture and black light miniature golf to name but a few of our abilities. (BTW, we also have the ability to walk through walls and doors...shhhhhhh!) Anyway, when this TOP SECRET internationally known company Googled us, they knew they were knocking on the right doors (it was almost as if they knew we were about to walk through them. Hmmmmmmm) Day 2: We ran a hard day and made some serious progress with this and other projects going on at the same time! Maritza is tied up in the office (she was a bad girl) and I took over the camera...
